Ahhhhhhhh Friday. I love Fridays. For some reason it is always easier for me to get up early on Fridays; perhaps it is because I know I will get to sleep in the next day.
Exercise today:
I've officially dubbed Fridays as my running days. My goal is to go a little further and faster each Friday. I would like to run a 5K sometime within the next 3 weeks. I went for a nice 30 minute run on the treadmill and it felt great. I increased my speed every 2.5 minutes and then I increased my speed by one notch every minute for the last five minutes. I ran about 2.5 miles and burned about 300 calories. I plan to run the full 5K distance this Friday on the treadmill and then take my run outdoors for the next couple of weeks before the race.
Eating:
bread with almond butter
egg white
sausage
almonds
cheese
pizza (see previous post for my low sugar recipe)
granola bar
sauteed vegetables
handful of multigrain cheerios
Tip to stay motivated:
Signing up for a race is a really good way to stay motivated in terms of exercise. It makes a huge difference knowing that you've already paid for something and that you've made a commitment to be there. Heck, even knowing that you're going to add a new T-shirt to your wardrobe can be motivating. It's amazing what a difference it can make so look into it!
That being said, I really need to find a good race to participate in and post about it soon!!!
